I am an experienced counsellor registered with the BACP.
I have a particular interest in supporting people through life transitions. These may be due to specific events e.g changes in relationships , work, location or they may be linked to stages of the natural life cycle. They may also be prompted by a more intuitive inner sense that change is happening or needed.
While these times can be unsettling they can also, with attention and support, be a catalyst for growth, renewal and transformation.
In my work as an integrative counsellor I am able draw upon a range of approaches, tailoring what I offer to reflect your needs and preferences. I will also work holistically, encouraging you to listen and attend to the promptings of your mind, body and whatever you may define as soul or spirit.
While the core of our work together will happen in the sessions, I can also offer suggestions as to how you may be able to deepen the process of healing or enquiry through activities you can experiment with between our meetings. These may include creative writing exercises or other forms of self reflection and self care.
I believe that the pace of change differs from person to person and aim to be flexible about the number and frequency of sessions. We will agree this once we have established the purpose of our work together.
